- System Requirements
- -------------------
- You will need 640 RAM, with at least 570 free RAM to play GateWorld. In other
- words, don't have too many RAM resident (TSR) programs running while you play
- GateWorld. You will also need a VGA system.
-
- Joystick and keyboard are both supported, but not the mouse.
-
-
- GateWorld Notes
- ---------------
- Certain VGA cards do not support one of the techniques that GateWorld uses
- called Color Cycling. Because not everyone will read this text file, Color
- Cycling defaults to off. You can turn it on by toggling "Color Cycling"
- support from the CONFIGURE menu. If a black horizontal line or "snow" appears
- when playing the game then turn Color Cycling back off. If you set the option
- once it will be stored permanently in the configuration file.
-
- To get GateWorld to run acceptably on slow computers you can adjust the size of
- the Viewport. This is done by selecting "Size view" from the MAIN GAME menu.
- When you change the view port size it will be stored permanently in the
- configuration file.
-
- Pressing F1 from anywhere in the game will provide you with detailed help.
-
-
